The oldest man-made thing on Unilocal!!! Ok, worth it just to experience Urfa. Urfa is a small city with very few tourists. It has a great bazaar and most things are very inexpensive. Very few English speakers, even at the Hilton. Going to Urfa — it’s sign posted but can be a bit tricky. The views and scenery are breathtaking though. Göbekli Tepe itself is really neat, and there are a few signs giving the history /neat facts. They are in the process of building an information center, which is much needed, because they could use more signs. Additionally, there isn’t that much exposed, but the stuff that is, is amazing… it’s 5 thousand years older than Stonehenge. Oddly, or not, it’s structure looks oddly similar, and has far more impressive carvings.
